Uniqlo Says Konnichiwa To Davao

For short and petite people like me, the struggle is real in terms of buying clothes that would fit our body type. Of course, we can just purchase anything from a random brand, but that would mean compromising our comfort. This is the reason why I was excited when I heard the buzz that Uniqlo was opening in Davao City.

And F-I-N-A-L-L-Y, they opened not only one but its first two stores in Mindanao on two separate dates. The first one opened on May 26 in SM Lanang Premier, and the second one on June 2 in SM City Davao Annex. I'm certain the waiting was all worth it for all Davaoeños because at last, we are now able to experience what Uniqlo is known for—high-quality clothing that is universal in design and comfort—without having to go to another city.

It's cool that Davao now have the brand that matches the city's laid-back lifestyle as Uniqlo constantly develops clothing based on Japanese values of simplicity, quality, and longevity. LifeWear, they call it. Apparel innovations geared toward bringing clothing that's not disposable by evolving the ordinary to produce more warmth, more lightness, and comfort that's not time-bounded.

Here's some of the photos from the VIP and Media Launch that I luckily got to be a part of:

Also, here's some photos of myself during my Hong Kong wearing the Uniqlo pieces I got from the SM Lanang Premier branch:
